Publish a Release

The final step to getting an update to users is to publish the release. Be sure to first create a draft then upload assets for a release before continuing.

Tip

You can verify the release notes, version number, and assets in the “Releases” section for a given application.

There are two ways to publish a release:

• Publishing with the Cloud Platform
• Publishing with the CLI

Publishing with the Cloud Platform

After the assets have been uploaded, a release can be published by visiting the respective “Release” page on the CrabNebula Cloud platform. Clicking the “Publish draft” button in the upper-right corner will make the release available to users.

Publishing with the CLI

In order to publish a release with the CLI you will need:

• Organization slug
• Application slug
• Release ID (output after creating a new draft with the CLI)

Tip

Be sure to follow the instructions to setup the CrabNebula Cloud CLI before continuing.

To publish a release run the following command:

cn release publish {org-slug/app-slug} {release-id}

Tip

When using Tauri or cargo-packager, you can automatically publish the release referencing your app’s version by running cn release publish {org-slug/app-slug} --framework [tauri|packager].

To publish the example of crabnebula/devtools-desktop with release ID 01HKA6TGC281V51NGSRJNTJQAF the following command would be used:

cn release publish "crabnebula/devtools-desktop" "01HKA6TGC281V51NGSRJNTJQAF"
